The Alabama Crimson Tide are heading into the game of the year against the Georgia Bulldogs.
Easily their toughest test of the season thus far, the Tide will need to be full strength against the Bulldogs.
Following an update from HC Kalen DeBoer, that may be coming to fruition:
Alabama Injury Update
"Malachi [Moore], that was just a matter of time working through his situation. He was out there practicing last week. With Qua [Russaw] still taking the steps, still working through his situation. I'm optimistic with Qua, we just have to see as we evaluate throughout the week…
"… Cole [Adams] practiced, not 100% of practice, but he's out there competing and doing some things with the activities that we have and even some competitive drills. So we're just working (him) back slowly. And then Richard [Young] is the same case, so he's been out there going through the drills and working back slowly with the bye week. And we never want to not push, but we also have to be sure we're doing things smart with these guys and not setting them up set themselves up for any setbacks. So both those guys are kind of the same boat."
Malachi Moore was the main concern here, as the captain and key DB exited the Wisconsin game with a head-neck area injury that placed him into concussion protocol. If he was cleared to participate in practice last week it leads you to believe he's going to be good to go for Saturday.
The other injuries were seemingly of lesser severity, with a week of rest and recovery boding well for the status of Cole Adams, Qua Russaw, and Richard Young.
College football doesn't have daily injury reports, but if we were to analyze the words of DeBoer, it seems that Moore has been a full participant while Adams, Russaw, and Young were limited.
We'll see how that develops ahead of Saturday.
